Additional Information 207• Do not leave memory cards in places subject to high humidity and hightemperature.• Do not disassemble, bend, drop, or subject memory cards to shocksand do not expose them to water.• Check the direction before inserting the memory card. Forcing a mem-ory card into the slot if it is not correctly oriented may damage the mem-ory card or the camcorder.• Do not attach any labels or stickers on the memory card.• Secure Digital (SD) memory cardshave a physical switch to prevent writ-ing on the card so as to avoid theaccidental erasure of the card’s con-tent. To write-protect the memory cardset the switch to the LOCK position.Built-in Rechargeable Lithium BatteryThe camcorder has a built-in rechargeable lithium battery to keep thedate/time and other settings. The built-in lithium battery is rechargedwhile you use the camcorder; however, it will discharge completely ifyou do not use the camcorder for about 3 months.To recharge the built-in lithium battery: Connect the compact poweradapter to the camcorder and leave it connected for 24 hours with thecamcorder off.DisposalWhen you delete movies or initialize the memory, only the file allocationtable is altered and stored data is not physically erased. When you dis-pose of the camcorder or memory card or give either to another per-son, initialize the camcorder's built-in memory (*/)/(only) or memory card using the [Complete Initialization] option (A 41).Fill it up with unimportant recordings, and then initialize it again usingthe same option. This makes recovering the original recordings verydifficult.LOCK switchCOPY
